What is Sauteed dried peppers?

Sauteed dried peppers are a Turkish home-style dish made by softening dried sweet or hot peppers and cooking them in a pan, often with a little oil. Onion, garlic or tomato may be added, though the recipe varies with the pepper and household.

The peppers turn tender but retain a little chew, with a concentrated, gently sweet flavour from drying; hot varieties bring noticeable heat. In Turkey, they’re served alongside a main meal, as part of a meze spread, or with bread and yoghurt. They make a fibre-rich, relatively low-calorie vegetable dish: a 100 g portion provides 6.1 g of fibre. Use a measured amount of oil for a lighter version, and pair milder peppers with yoghurt if you prefer less heat.
